From Create Your Own Story
"This one" you flip the book so it's facing Nathan, a devious smirk etched on your features. Squinting at the writing, Nathans face betrays every single word he digests. He had read this one. Plenty of times.
"That one?"
"This one"
Thrusting out the book for Nathan to take, you hop up onto the counter for a front row seat, folding your legs over one another. If you had been anyone else, Nathan would have bristled and told you to walk yourself right out the front doors. The potion displayed with some beautifully graphic pictures was a lovely work of magic. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that, you could make yourself a doll.
"Tyler is always saying I can have one of hers, how about that one looking at us from the table?"
Nathan complied, retrieving the stuffed animal with a heated blush covering his face. The cute teddy gets placed on the counter next to you. You can't help petting the little thing that's about to be tied to you so intimately. Nathan's gaze narrowed as he studied the book, fingers delicately tracing the pages that held the recipe for the enchanting potion to bind the teddy to you. The devious smirk on your face fueled his determination to master the intricate concoction.
Anticipation hung in the air as he gathered the required ingredients, measuring each with meticulous care. The room filled with the heady aroma of magical herbs, and the soft sizzle of the potion brewing in the cauldron underscored the intensity of the moment. The potion gradually took form, its colors shifting and a gentle glow emanating from the mixture, and he talked you through every single step.
With bated breath and a forced stoicism that alluded to professionalism, Nathan carefully filled a vial with the finished potion. He turned to you, presenting it with academic integrity, his blush ten shades darker than it had ever been before. "Here you go. This should do the trick,"
"And I just pour half on teddy dearest and then half into my mouth?"
"That - that's right. It creates a voodoo doll, essentially ... except it cancels out any pain. You can only feel nice sensations from it - that was what the cherry blossoms were for ..."
